Modeling and Analysis of Rice Root Water Uptake under the Dual Stresses of Drought and Waterlogging by Jie Huang, Wei Dong, Luguang Liu, Tiesong Hu, Shaobin Pan, Xiaowei Yang, Jianan Qin

“…The root mean square error of relative transpiration was reduced by 60.8%, and soil water was reduced by 55.1%. By accounting for both the accumulated impact of past moisture stress and current moisture conditions in rice fields, the modified model will be useful in quantifying rice transpiration and rice water use efficiency in drought–waterlogging-prone areas in southern China.…”

BuDDI: Bulk Deconvolution with Domain Invariance to predict cell-type-specific perturbations from bulk. by Natalie R Davidson, Fan Zhang, Casey S Greene

“…Then we validated that BuDDI could accurately predict cell-type-specific perturbation response when no single-cell perturbed profiles were used during training; instead, only bulk samples had both perturbed and non-perturbed observations. Finally, we validated BuDDI on predicting sex-specific differences, an experimental design where it is not possible to have matched samples. …”

Serum hepcidin level with iron profile assay might replace bone marrow iron study as a diagnostic tool for evaluation of anemia in elderly without chronic renal disease by Sukdev Manna, Sankha Shubhra Chakrabarti, Rohit Singh, Indrajeet Singh Gambhir

“…Conclusion: Though serum hepcidin level correlates well with serum iron profile and also serum hepcidin appears to be a useful marker to differentiate ACD from IDA in terms of both sensitivity and specificity, the combined assessment of serum hepcidin and iron profile appears to be a better marker than ferritin and hepcidin alone. …”
